Murrundi's Inaugural Salsa Fiesta, Supporting Farmers and the local Community



In a first for the Murrurundi area, Sydney-based professional dancer and entertainer Airagdin Pavon More, “El Moro”, will be performing a special
Salsa Extravaganza in support of the local farmers and people of Murrurundi and surrounds.

The event organiser, Craig Scott, says this occasion is not to be missed and will be held at the Murrurundi RSL Hall, featuring stunning performances by world-renowned El Moro, backed by well-known Sydney DJ, Cuz Berenguela, playing all the popular Cuban tunes. It is expected that a large Sydney following will also attend. The aim of the event is to give the local community a break from their day-to-day routine, a chance
to dress up and get together for an unique event, and join together with those coming from other areas. “We hope this will lift their spirits, all will have a great night out, and the night will help to raise awareness of the issues they are facing, with all
proceeds being donated to a local community organised group "Doing it for our Farmers/Pop up pantry" run by Justine Cooper, Craig said.

Don’t miss this amazing Salsa event! Sample authentic Cuban food, dance, relax, have fun, and soak up the amazing atmosphere and latin music, whilst supporting the farmers and people of Murrurundi and surrounds.
